Synopsis

A new Rona Parish mystery. Rona Parish's last assignment, a series of articles on the town of Buckford, is almost complete, when a young woman named Zara Crane approaches her with a request to help her trace her natural parents. Rona's curiosity is aroused not least because she discovers that Zara's birth mother had been murdered in her bath twenty-five years earlier. Though Rona's husband Max and her friends do their best to dissuade her from getting involved in what they fear may turn out to be another dangerous case, Rona cannot resist the challenge. As she starts to trace people who may have known Zara's parents, she finds herself having to deal at the same time with complications in her own life.

About the Author:

Fraser announced at the age of five that she wanted to be an author.

From AudioFile:

English biographer Rona Parish recently gained fame for solving a murder. Consequently, a young woman, anxious about a possible murder in her own murky past, persuades the writer to investigate. In most of the ways that count, Jacqueline Tong's narration is undistinguished, serviceable but ordinary and slightly mannered. Except in one respect. She has infused this whodunit with an aura of feminine British primness, of practical shoes and to-do lists and meeting deadlines. This personality, bespeaking the heroine-sleuth's middle-class sensibility, elevates the story above the routine. It's the detective more than the detecting that hold one's interest. Tong makes Parish a role model for independent middle-class women -- conventional yet sensitive, gutsy, feminine, and capable.
